2026 Egg Shipping Methods

[Bluberry]

What is the best method of packing & shipping fertile eggs? I want to hear about your best and worst experiences. Bonus: Provide photos for the visual learners.

Best - the eggs were individually bubble wrapped and spaced apart stored in sturdy cartons which were also taped closed on the outside and then the cartons wrapped in foam with large peanuts in the box for filler and boxed, taped and marked fragile. No cracks or breaks at all.

Worst - the eggs were put in paper egg cartons filled with paper shavings and paper shaving all inside the box. Four out of twelve broken or cracked. It was terrible.

Sorry, I did not save the photos.

I seem to get the highest hatch rates with eggs posted in these foam inserts

I also like that they're reusable.

Individually wrapped in little strips of bubble wrap and what seems like an entire roll of tape is my least favourite way of receiving hatching eggs.
